Denny Laine of Paul McCartney and Wings has died

December 5, 2023

Denny Laine has died at age 79. He played guitar and sang on 7 albums by Paul McCartney and Wings in the ’70s. This is “Let Me Roll It,” from their 1973 album Band on the Run, one of my favorite songs by my favorite singer/songwriter:

He was the lead singer on the Moody Blues’ classic ’60s song “Go Now” (1964). Here he is singing it live while playing piano with Paul McCartney and Wings:

We’ve already said goodbye

But since you gotta go

Oh, you’d better go now …

Before you see me cry
